USMLE Step 3, I’m Not Scared of You

The stage!

Registering for the USMLE Step 3 is a little bit different than registering for the first three exams. First of all, you must already have your medical degree. Secondly, you actually have to apply through a state licensing board.

I started the process of registering (and paying) for the Step 3 over two weeks ago, but I just now became eligible to actually register for the official day to take the exam. It turns out, the days that I wanted to take the exam (it’s a 2 day exam) were already taken, so I had to register for earlier dates.

I will be taking the USMLE Step 3 next Tuesday and Wednesday (June 15 and 16). That’s earlier than I had anticipated.

So, it’s time for me to really buckle down and study my little toosh off. I really believe I can do this, and I really believe that I WILL do this. So, here goes everything. T minus 7 days until the exam!

    Your work ethic (for lack of a better word) never fails to amaze and impress me. You’re taking the Step 3 exam earlier than anticipated, and you seem composed and ready to give it your all. I can only wish to be like you when I start med school.
